Description
The UK is giving up sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, decades after the population of the archipelago was displaced. The move has received widespread attention in the international press. The Gibraltar Government says it's important to observe how different the case of Chagos is to Gibraltar, and that the UK has made cast iron guarantees to the Rock on sovereignty. Shelina Assomul spoke to the Chief Minister as well as the Leader of the Opposition. Yesterday evening the Ceremony of the Keys was held at Casemates Square, continuing the tradition from the days of the Great Siege. The Commander of British Forces Tom Guy says that Gibraltar is fully prepared to support Armed Forces operations worldwide. He said the event reaffirms the commitment to Gibraltar, and said he was happy with the support from the community.   In this week’s edition of "Llanitos Abroad", where we speak to Gibraltarians who are living and working away from the Rock, we travelled up to Madrid with poet Jonathan Teuma.   Jose Mari Ruiz gave a look ahead to this weekend’s sports events and matches; he himself spoke to us remotely from a charity 5-a-side tournament in aid of GBC Open Day. He told us how the GBC team was getting on.   October is cancer awareness month, and a group of make-up artists have come together to give their backing to a very worthy cause, Breast Cancer Support's 'Move the Boob' campaign. They've put together a video on social media, and are hoping to raise a good amount of money for the charity during the next few weeks. We spoke to Megan, Melanie and Annabella, who are all part of the team. And, smiling is contagious, it radiates happiness and affection. It illuminates the world like a bright sun, lighting up the darkest days. So wear your smile proudly and help kindness multiply, especially today as it is World Smile Day. The Newsroom's Celine Soussi popped in to town this morning to catch some smiles. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
